Quote of the Day: Sean Penn

"And should we speak truth, we stand against government efforts to intimidate or legislate in the service of censorship. Whether under the guise of a Patriot Act or any other benevolent-sounding rationale for the age-old game of shutting down dissent by discouraging independent thinking and preventing progressive social change."

- Sean Penn, on receiving the 2006 Christopher Reeve First Amendment Award. Read the entire transcript of his speech tonight in New York here.
